PETITION: Ban the burka! Ban this oppressive medieval practice!

ADDRESSED TO: JUSTICE SECRETARY SHABANA MAHMOOD

Today, in the House of Commons, a Reform MP, Sarah Pochin, questioned Keir Starmer about banning the oppressive Islamic burka.

Keir Starmer ignored the question, but the question has caused a storm in politics and in the media.

The British people overwhelmingly want the burka/niqab banned on security grounds.

The burka/niqab is a backward practice that oppresses women.

We have launched a petition that we intend to deliver to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, demanding that there is an urgent public referendum on this issue.

    The Koran does not sanction this mode of dress – and all face coverings (balaclavas and the like) should be banned in public.

    I feel threatened by people wearing this garment. It needs to be banned to protect the mental health of myself and others like me.

    This will free millions of women, who are forced to wear these by controlling men. Especially children. As this practice is not demanded in their book
